Enigma's Spanish Civil War role

The head of Britain's communications intelligence agency GCHQ has taken delivery of a set of unique Enigma machines at a ceremony in Toledo, Spain.

Security correspondent Gordon Corera was at the ceremony in Toledo and hears how they were discovered in a locked basement in Spain's Ministry of Defence having been there since the 1930s.
